Trump On Dem's Russian Conspiracy Theory: 'Just Another Excuse' For Losing

Speaking to Fox News' Chris Wallace on Sunday morning, the President-elect blasted the Friday night Wapo report that a secret CIA assessment concluded Russia intervened in the U.S. presidential election to help him win the presidency.

"I think it's ridiculous. I think it's just another excuse. I don't believe it," the president-elect said in an interview that aired Sunday on Fox News Sunday. "I don't know why and I think it's just -- you know, they talked about all sorts of things."

“Every week it's another excuse. We had a massive landslide victory, as you know, in the Electoral College,” referring to his 306-232 edge.

"If you look at the story and you take a look at what they said, there's great confusion. Nobody really knows, and hacking is very interesting," Trump said. "Once they hack if you don't catch them in the act you're not going to catch them. They have no idea if it's Russia or China or somebody. It could be somebody sitting in a bed some place. I mean, they have no idea."

He blamed Democrats for putting out the media reports and said he did not believe they came from the Central Intelligence Agency. "I think the Democrats are putting it out," he said in the interview. When asked if he thinks the CIA is trying to overturn the election results, Trump said during the Fox News interview he doesn't think "they're saying anything."

Trump went so far as to asset that Democrats are upset "because they suffered one of the greatest defeats in the history of politics in this country." Later, he told Wallace that those leaks “could be” politically motivated because “they’re very embarrassed.”
